PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD (#4)

(Eph 6:10)Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. (Eph 6:11)Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles[trickery: lie in wait]of
the devil. (Eph 6:12)For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places. (Eph 6:13)Wherefore
take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand [to
stand against, i.e. oppose: resist] in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand.
(Eph 6:14)Stand therefore, having
your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness; (Eph 6:15)And your
feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (Eph 6:16)Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (Eph 6:17)And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God: (Eph 6:18)Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

(Job 1:9,10)Then Satan
answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job[hated, i.e. persecuted]fear[to revere]God for
nought? Hast not thou made an hedgeabout him, and about
his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed
the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
